Chart Every Realm. Rule Every Story.
PlayRealmCompass drops you into 120 hand-crafted realms where you sail, climb, and battle alongside friends. Free to play, no forced ads, built in Richmond, Melbourne.
A small Richmond studio building worlds worth getting lost in
We're a 14-person team working out of a converted warehouse on Little Hoddle Street. PlayRealmCompass started as a weekend prototype in 2021 and grew into a living open world that receives a fresh content drop every six weeks.
Every realm is designed by hand, scored by a local composer, and playtested with our community before release. No loot boxes, no pay-to-win — just a world we'd want to explore ourselves.
Features built for players who love to explore
Everything below ships in the free base game. Optional cosmetic passes never affect balance.
Sail open seas, scale cloud peaks, and uncover hidden shrines across 120 seamless realms. Fast-travel unlocks as you map each region, and a dynamic weather system reshapes routes in real time.
Form a guild of up to 40 explorers and take on live 20-v-20 realm sieges every weekend. Voice chat, shared banners, and a weekly ladder with cosmetic-only rewards keep matches fair.
Each 6-week season adds a themed realm, a story arc, and 60 tiers of rewards. The optional Adventurer Pass unlocks cosmetic tracks — every gameplay item stays free for all players.
Start on your phone during a Richmond tram ride and finish on your tablet at home. Progress syncs instantly across Android and iOS with encrypted cloud saves at no extra cost.
Design and publish your own realms with our drag-and-drop editor, then share them with the community. The one-time Legend Bundle adds advanced terrain brushes and priority featuring.

Loved on both stores
Aggregated from Google Play and the App Store, updated weekly.
“I've sunk 90 hours into the Explorer mode and still find new shrines. The fact that nothing is pay-to-win keeps me coming back — guild sieges are pure skill.”
“Cross-play actually works. I start on my commute and pick up on my iPad at night without losing a thing. Runs buttery smooth on my three-year-old phone.”
“The Creator Studio is ridiculous value for a one-off A$24.99. I built a full realm in a weekend and it got featured. Genuinely the friendliest game community I've joined.”
